[Beauty x Makeup x Haul] #ALTHEATURNS1 – ALTHEA KOREA’S FIRST BIRTHDAY

by - 7/21/2016 12:14:00 AM


Today's a special day y'all!!!
You know why~?


It's ALTHEA'S BIRTHDAY!!
My favorite online store where I can get my hands on all the Korean cosmetics and skincare that can't be found in Singapore!

If you haven't checked out my previous Althea Christmas haul, check it out here


To celebrate this special day, they had a very special box!






How cute is this?! I seriously love Althea's packaging.
This box isn't flimsy or cheap-looking! It's super legit and keeps your purchases safe!



Here's what I got!
 I decided to get things I didn't get in my previous haul.
A few things I heard reviews from fellow beauty bloggers and I wanted to try for myself!
Got so much things it was hard to fit everything for a photo. LOL

The box included a DIY party kit!!
It's not a party without a hat!!

Decided to stick EVERYTHING on...how does it look?

Another party essential!

 A balloon!




So let's get to the fun part! THE GOODS!
WITCH'S POUCH POPO LIP TINT (RO2 MODERN PURPLE)
These kind of 'lip products that change according to your body temperature' are pretty popular right now. I also love the funky colors of the lippie but it turns to a very natural pink shade!

I was torn between Apple Green (RO3) and this shade but decided to stick with purple ♡

Here's a swatch!

 Just like the product description says, it feels like a lip balm with a glossy texture and it does give the appearance of fuller lips.



W.LAB 3D FACE LOVELY STICK (#02 PEACH CRUSH)
My love for stick products is getting stronger and stronger as the weeks go by.
I came across this product and since I didn't have a peachy color in my current makeup collection, I wanted to give this baby a try!

In the product desciption it said #charming #rosy loveliness #lovely... um.
*add to cart* LOL


Here's the back of the packaging!

The product claims to blend into the skin without drying the skin and giving an appearance of younger-looking skin. The formula they use is similar to some eyeliners where they use an oil-based ingredient to help the product STICK to the face (making it water resistant) without leaving the skin feeling oily.

If this baby is waterproof, holy crap I can go swim without looking like a mess!!

Here's a swatch!

Decided to act cute and make a heart shape.
Pretty easy to draw on and the color's pretty nice!
It felt pretty light weight and didn't feel oily but more on the powder-y side.



 KOCOSTAR SLICE MASK SHEET (LEMON)
I LOVE face masks. Whether it's sleeping masks, sheet masks, mud masks.... I LOVE THEM ALL!!

The reason why I was drawn to this product was because...
*flips the mask*

IT LOOKS LIKE LEMON PEELS!!!
There's a total of 12 patches and with all types of fruits and plant extracts, it helps to moisturize and brighten the skin!

This mask is made with 'tecel fabric' which is made from wood pulp and it sticks to the face (not flimsy like some cotton sheet masks) and helps skin absorb all the awesome essences.

Besides lemon, they have tomato and cucumber too!
Also available on Althea(^^♪




GRAM BANBAN PACK
Since we're on the topic of face masks, this mask was all over my social media!
This mask is a 2-in-1 mask which is suitable for the oily T-zone and the dry U-zone!
The selfies are hilarious but sounds great for people who have combination skin like me!
Which is why... I added it to my cart. LOL

Green: is for pores, sebum and blackheads
Yellow: is for dead skin, dryness, lack of firmness, and sensitive skin

It also comes with a spatula so I'm not complaining!
I'm picky when it comes to tub products...
if you don't come with a spatula and expect me to dip my hands inside... *shakes fist*
So I'm glad this pack included it ♡
+10 brownie points


RACLIA HALF SPONGE PAD
Why did I get a cotton pad?
Well this said it's different from our usual cotton pads!
It's low in density so instead of just gulping down all your toners/essences, it will go onto your face!
Similar concept to the beautyblender but this is the pad version.
Hence the name....'sponge pad'.

The back of the packaging.

This can also be used for a cotton mask using your essence, lip mask, and to remove blackheads!
Since the product is very affordable, I decided...why not!

The texture of the pad is very different from your usual cotton pads! 
I'm super excited to try it with my essence!


RIRE LIP MANICURE (11 PINK BROWN) 
OH MY GOSH GUYS!
THIS LIPPIE IS A MUST MUST BUY!!!
The color is beautiful, the matte finish is damn nice, and I ate a veggie burger and it STAYED ON!!
I attempted eating Ma La with this lippie but like all other liquid lippies... it's not the strongest against oily food.

BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT!
I was still impressed with how long-lasting it was!!

The product claims to be waterproof, smear-proof and has a vivid color.
Want to see how nice the color is?

Here's a swatch!
In mad love please~
I got so many compliments and I'm just in love with this.
Only thing I struggle with is the applicator.
It's very short and my skills still need some practice to get it on point.
But concealer and highlighter can always fix that!


 CFC LAB ARGAN GLOW HAIR OIL (GRAPEFRUIT SCENT)
Made of Argan oil + 9 vegetable oils + rich with all types of vitamine (A, C, D, E, and F)!
Top it off with a grapefruit scent...perfection!

It gives your hair a glossy, moist, glowing look with a refreshing scent!

 back of the packaging~

My hair is far from looking 'glowing, glossy, etc.' so I'm definitely excited to give this a try!
It comes with a pump - which is really nice of them.
If you prefer pouring the product out from the bottle, then you can just use it as it is.



 ELIZAVECCA MILKY PIGGY BLACKHEAD SOLUTION 3-STEP NOSE PACK
What a looooooooong product name for something so simple to use.
This pack is super simple to use.
1. melt the blackheads to make it easier to remove
2. REMOVE THEM BLACKHEADS!
3. DON'T LET THEM COME BACK! shrink your pores!

It's nice that it includes all this in one product.
Some products have either 1 or 2 functions but not all 3!

Here's the back~

The packaging is simple but easy to use, great for traveling and for those special skincare sessions you have once or twice a week!
